Queen's Day Amsterdam

Amsterdam is certainly a lively destination for any incentive trip and in April the whole city goes "Oranjeboom” at as the locals celebrate their Queen’s birthday with a 24-hour party. This birthday bash is certainly royally done and is a fantastic event, with DJs and bands playing every type of music, from hip-hop to rock, in bars, in clubs and on canal boats! Fireworks and more: this is a knees-up not to be missed. Top this off with a night at the world reknowned Supper Club for exquisite dining and wild entertainment.
